Summary

I am currently a commis chef at Emersons Brewery, and have been working there for over two years, starting as a kitchen hand. I am also in the process of gaining my CDP title with the current section I am working. I love working in busy, fast-paced environments and would like to expand my knowledge and skills into different cuisines.
